[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 1988172, member: 401801"] I know it's hard to let go of the idea that the professionals know it all. Sad to say though, they don't. And you may say, he's the pro. [I]He doesn't HAVE diabetes![/I] We live with it every single day. I've been in remission, having normal bloodsugars for [I]over 2[/I] [I]years[/I]. If I'd followed the advice of my dieticians (yes, plural), my specialist and both diabetes nurses... I'd be on insulin now. Because they wanted me to eat carbs in amounts my body can not and will not cope with. They don't live with this, I do. And when they're retired and don't spare me a thought, I'd still like to have both my feet, and preferably, working kidneys. That is [I]my[/I] reality. Not theirs. How's this: You use the meter for a day or two the way people here suggest you do: testing before a meal and 2 hours after first bite. Then decide whether that's giving you more useful information than the 4 times you're testing when the odds are you're relatively low anyway. And lulling you into a false sense of security, thinking then that some fruit's not [I]that[/I] bad.... When it really is. Don't believe us? Check our claims with your meter! You don't have to take our word for anything,[I] you can check whether we're full of it, yourself[/I]! You have more power than you think. ;) Just an idea. ;) [/QUOTE]
